metal-to-metal lubricant in a small piston

Hi! I am seeking the help of someone experienced with lubricants,
specifically hydrocarbons such as conosol and drakesol. I'm not a
chemist or an engineer, just a knowledge seeking entrepreneur, and I'm
trying my best to do research on my own and understand it, but I
thought I would throw a post out there to see if anyone could explain
it in simple english for me.

I'm basically interested in what the difference is between different
conosols; such as conosol C-145, C-270, C-200, C-215, etc etc. My
application is to lubricate metal-to-metal contact in a small piston.
Endurance is a big factor (how long before it evaporates.) If anyone
could help me understand this lubricant (or maybe find one better!) I
would be most grateful and would do _whatever_ I can to return the
favor.

Many many thanks,

Squeeky

There are some silicone or fluoro lubricants
that can take a lot of punishment, but it
would be best to contact Dow Corning, or
Shell for details.
